Students Blocked from Voting in Ohio

This comes from reliable sources:

About 80 students from Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH are being blocked from voting by poll workers. The reason? Even though the students are registered to vote the poll workers say they can't be sure whether they are really registered since they are students. Name? Driver's license? Last I checked, a picture I.D. was sufficient.

Needless to say, the polling location is heavily favored toward Barack Obama.

A press conference has been called for around 7:50 p.m. and the students have filled out provisional ballots but no one is sure what will happen to those ballots since the polls closed at 7:30 p.m. These students have apparently been at this polling location for quite some time trying to vote.

I'll let you know what happens.
